Sand: Versatile Construction Aggregate
Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. It is typically produced by the weathering and erosion of rocks, then processed to remove impurities and achieve a consistent texture. The absence of a specified size or attribute means this sand is likely a general-purpose product suitable for a wide range of construction and landscaping needs.
Sand's fine texture makes it ideal for mixing with cement to create mortar or concrete, providing a smooth, workable finish. It is commonly used as a base layer for pavers, in playgrounds, for leveling surfaces, and as a component in masonry work. Its excellent drainage properties make it suitable for use in landscaping and as a bedding material for pipes. Sand is easy to spread and compact, but may not provide structural support on its own, so it is best used in combination with other materials for load-bearing applications.
